Sun 老师 gave me a book with some DVDs in it Monday for me to watch. She said it was a sit-com like our "Everybody Loves Raymond." I managed to watch some today and wasn't that impressed. It's specifically made to learn Chinese. Have you ever noticed that whenever a show is specifically made to learn a language it's really lame or unrealistic? That's basically the feeling I got from this. I couldn't understand anything they were saying but the acting made me think that way. It came with a textbook that contains transcripts of the dialogues but... I'm just not feeling it.
On another note, my two books came in! So I'll have something to read on the train to Chicago tomorrow!
The show was "Home with Kids" and the book says at the top "A Multi-skill Chinese Course."
